Sunday -- I alerted the world to the travesty that the prison administration is perpetrating on my "cloistered brothers." They have listed their Lay Dominican crosses as contraband. Hence, if they wear them, they will be punished. That means thrown in the hole (put in solitary confinement), or transferred to a different prison (away from their Lay Dominican Chapter). Prayers are requested.

Monday -- Sydney Carter wrote many of the lyrics to the folk songs of the 1960's. He was a poet, well known for his pacifist political views. I paid tribute to him here.

Tuesday -- Since my name is Faith, and since the name of my blog is The One True Faith, and since my religious name is Sister Faith in the Blessed Trinity, and since I've always believed that Faith is the greatest of virtues, and since I've always taken umbrage to being told that "love," is the greatest virtue, I finally, humbly admit in this post, that love is the greatest.

Today at Mass, the celebrant told an interesting story. I can't verify it, though. The gospel was the one about Lazarus coming out of the tomb. The priest was talking about Martha's faith. Jesus asked her, "Dost thou believe?" Then the priest tied "faith" to people's beliefs about death. Martha believed all shall be "resurrected, on the last day." Well, it turns out, that many believe this, no matter what they say.

Father said that in 1982, Leonid Brezhnev died. He was the leader of atheistic, communist, Russia. At his funeral, full of military accolades, accouterments, etc., with his coffin surrounded by soldiers, Leonid's wife, Viktoria, trace the sign of the cross on his chest, just before the lid of the coffin was closed.

Remember, this an atheist, communist country. She did this in public. How's that for witnessing?

Here I am in Ireland with a bunch of religiously impaired people. And today is Sunday. From the plans they were devising I knew Mass wasn't on the schedule. I mentioned going to Mass but they said "We're going to the Shrine of Our Lady of Knock Wednesday. You will have all the church you want then.

Bummer 😩

So, We were planning on going shopping in Claddagh. We parked along the harbor and we're walking to the shopping district when I saw a Dominican friar at the entrance of a church greeting people!

Faith is a Lay Dominican with a dual apostolate of cyberministry and prison ministry. She blogs here about her "cloistered brothers," her thoughts, spirituality, prayer, and an occasional poem or two.
